Subject: Halo Glasslands' Mk. VII armor --> RPG gameplay in Halo 4?

AIM would work in campaign pretty well, maybe even firefight. In multiplayer, I don't see it happening. Halo multiplayer is(Besides special gametypes and armor abilities) players starting with the same equipment. Players have to use skill to kill others that start on an equal footing, then scavenge weapons in the field. If players are starting with special mods already on that are aquired and can be upgraded, where is the equal footing?

ign said that halo 4 will be using a modifyed reach engine... thats when i started hating ign and i dont belive anything they say anymore.

You're an idiot.

Fun fact: The Halo Reach engine is actually a heavily modified Halo CE engine. Which I think was based on whatever Bungie used previously before that.

Your the idiot, reach's engine was made from scratch

WHY THE HELL DID YOU BUMP THIS.

OT: IIRC, Reach's engine is not made from scratch.

I aim with my eye.

I shoot with my mind.
I do not kill with my gun; he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.
I kill with my heart."

Haha reach was not made from scratch! And ofcourse 343 will use reach engine and tune it up. It would be counter productive to make on from scratch since they have!

OT: there will not be any rpg styles of halo. Bungir proved to us once already that halo only works with an multiplayer where everyone in on a plain playfield

Why are you here?

I actually laughed at the title.

If it went in the Section 8 direction for multiplayer, it might be a very interesting new feature, if done properly, and of course fitting right with Halo.

We'll just have to wait and see.

I see it being less like an RPG and more like the armor bonuses from Crysis 2. You can choose up to 4, and then switch them out for others as you earn them.

So you think Reach is an actual Halo game, huh? LOL
Jesus! There's a BoB in ma Falcon!

Irony

reach's engine was made from scratch
No it wasn't.

But why did you bump this old-ass thread?

  • 02.02.2012 11:33 AM PDT

I think speculating at this point is worthless. Why bother taking stabs in the dark? I'll be waiting to discuss elements that are confirmed to be in the game.

Exactly, we know virtually nothing about Halo 4 or Mark VII.

Also, folks should stop quoting nanites as reason for everything...

"We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds...'
I suppose we all thought that one way or another."
- J. Robert Oppenheimer

Custom upgrades might be interesting, but...it probably wouldn't seem like Halo anymore. Armor abilities in Reach were already kind of a step too far away from what feels like Halo to me, but I won't say that they were a bad addition.

A good hint in that direction.

I'd like to see a classic playlist and a customised playlist if this is true.

If the armour is customisable then the weapons should be too.



Edit: just realized this is a necrobump.

I was thinking the same thing. For Halo 4 to truly be popular, they need to update gameplay and add new spins to it, but keep another half of multiplayer dedicated to classic playstyles, something Reach lacked upon launch for the most part.

Anyway, I like this idea--it could work in multiplayer but should be a campaign focus. Design the campaign around the armor upgrades, not the other way around, forcing the player to make decisions that could make or break their chances of winning a battle. I've always wanted a more tacticle Halo, this could be the chance.

Reach's engine is a somewhat modified Halo 3 engine, Halo 1's engine was done from scratch. No code made prior to Halo 1 was in Halo 1. No Myth code is in it.

And to the person who stated Modern Warfare 3's engine is based on a heavily modified Quake engine, that's a common misconception. Call of Duty 1 was based on the Id Tech 3 engine, Call of Duty 2 featured a proprietary rewrite.

Dude, seriously? The last thing ANYONE wants is Call Of Duty elements in the Halo universe. Go thump your head against a tree for five minutes, please.

The awesome signature is awesome


I reckon the rpg elements may be alright, like the game will have to support 4 player co-op campaign so if they do it well like borderlands did then i wouldnt mind it too much (I am not saying in anyway what-so-ever that it should be as intricate as borderlands because halo is great with its linear like story and gameplay)

halo 4 rpg?
why not make halo like call of duty!!!


I can totally see what you mean ... NOT, where the hell are there rpg elements in COD?

3.9

Could be 343's way of explaining how (possibly) AAs are in Halo 4.'Upgrades' could be a jetpack, or bubble shield etc. Presumably it would only allow for one AA/upgrade at a time. (Just a guess)
